impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market
The more I read posts about modern vs classic, the more I see people going modern which is fine. What surprises me is that all the car guys (and gals) are almost insulting now to the older stuff, unsafe, slow, doesn't handle and brake and too expensive. This is a new nuance I had not seen in years past. Say what you will about the old stuff but on my street I have my 2006 Go Mango Daytona Charger, numerous other Charges, new Mustangs including a Saleen and a few new Challengers and Camaros and the only time people stop and get out of their cars and chat is when my Duster is parked in my driveway. Workers, passersby, you name it. The other thing I have noticed about new, I can drive my Daytona and no one in a new Challenger or Charger gives it a look, and the same when Challenger people pass each other, which here every fourth car is a new Challenger. Pull up in an old car and people give the thumbs up, etc. I do however feel bad for people who just can no longer work on their cars. I just did a front end lube job and radiator flush on mine and I still enjoy working on it when I can.
